NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday lauded the appointment of over 2800 youths in Tripura government, noting how the Manik Saha regime in state is providing jobs with full transparency and without any discrimination or corruption, unlike the earlier Left govt that only provided employment to communist “party cadres”.
Addressing the programme for distribution of over 2800 appointment letters in Tripura govt through video conference, Shah said Saha govt has ensured a new beginning in the lives of 2,807 youths of the state by offering them 2,437 multi-tasking staff positions and 370 health department positions on Wednesday. With their appointment letter, he said, the 2,807 beneficiaries had become part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign for a developed Tripura and India.
Highlighting the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to keep the entire northeast on the path of development, Shah said thanks to initiatives taken in the region over the past 10 years, the northeast once known for insurgency, infiltration, blockades, drugs, arms smuggling, corruption, and ethnic tensions “is now known for development, connectivity, infrastructure, education, investment, and the growth of agricultural activities”.
Mentioning the peace initiatives taken in Tripura – three agreements signed in the last 10 years – the home minister recalled how the lives of Bru-Reang tribes have changed for the better with sops like permanent residency, education, healthcare, and job opportunities
.
He added that all the insurgent groups in Tripura have been eliminated, surrendered or become part of the mainstream. Shah said that Tripura is moving ahead on the path of participation instead of distraction, speed instead of obstruction, and welfare instead of delay.
Underlining how development has picked up in the last seven years, Shah said the policies of Modi government have transformed Tripura from a landlocked state to a land-linked state. He said that airport, roads, water harvesting and irrigation have been taken up by the Government of India and Tripura for the all-round development of the state.
